Light is a symbol of truth because you need the light to guide you through the darkness, like the truth leads you through the unknown. It addresses each method of truth-finding and can simultaneously represent man-made and. natural truth (artificial vs. natural light), as well as universal and personal truth (the sun vs. flashlight). Overall, regardless of whether there is one truth or many, I think that everyone experiences truth in an individual way. For example, even though everyone can see the sun, all of the people in the world do not see it at the same instant and I think people don't experience sunlight, sunsets, or sunrises in the same way.
